Renovation Master Plan Goals & Objectives
Playability – Make the golf course more playable for all level of golfers Maintainability – Build course features with maintenance practices in mind Sustainability – Create a sustainable golf course that reduces water usage and labor requirements for the future
Preliminary Renovation Master Plan Concepts
Course Character – Keep Scottish / Prairie
Links style golf course Greens – Preserve existing greens when possible Tees – Establish five tees with proper course distance Sand Bunkers – Create variety with different bunker styles Infrastructure – Improve cart paths, drainage & irrigation system Hole-by-Hole Improvements
Course Character
Define the course character and how it should play Create large landing areas with one height of cut between native grass Transition from cool season grasses to warm season grasses Connect landing areas together Address routing deficiencies
Greens
Keep as many of the existing greens as possible Build a larger practice green Surrounds – Soften the slopes around the greens and create more containment areas Native Grasses – Remove some of the native grasses adjacent to the greens for playability
Tees
Enlarge and level tee surfaces with five tees per hole Large irregular shape tees with Zoysiagrass surfaces & surrounds Establish Buffalo or Brome grass that is not irrigated around the tees Proper yardages for all levels of play
Sand Bunkers
Position bunkers in proper locations that fit with today’s game and course character Explore a variety of architectural style for bunkers: Revetted Bunkers, Prairie Bunkers & Zoysia Face Bunkers Bunker Examples

Infrastructure
Replace all asphalt cart paths with new concrete paths and curbing Expand irrigation lake to maximize storage capacity Plan for a new irrigation system that works with warm season grasses

* Approximately 2.65 Inches of rain would be required to completely replenish new irrigation lake assuming 75% capture.
